Lol🤣 we don't sound British we're just us. 👍👍

Yeah, like the english language lol

they just retained older language features because it’s an older city

@@wesok7124 Born, raised & still live here. My father and Aunts all Baltimore raised and would be in their late 90s and over a 100 years old, spoke proper but never British English Accent. Majority of the eastcoast cities are America's oldest cities and don't sound alike or even British. However, we do have small towns in the eastern shore of Maryland that the people have really maintained a strong British influenced accent til this day but they are never talked about. Baltimore trends all day on social media and others chime in. I encourage you to look into the accents of Eastern shore Maryland and you'll be surprised.

@@cityflynn8045 y’all just uk*****

irn inr inr inr inr

Same for St.Louis too lol

It’s the “DAMN, WE REALLY TALK LIKE THAT?” that FLOORED me

It's like Boston's "PAHk cAH on HAHvEHd yAHd".

"Aaron ironed an urn." - Baltimore "Purple burglar alarm." - Scots

No we have our own accent and shouldn't be compared to anyone cause they are not the standard to be compared to

@@cityflynn8045 he didn’t compare it he said it’s a mixture of these places that make up Baltimore accent

I don’t really do that to our African-American accents

Don’t say Brooklyn. Do not disrespect my city like that fr lmao

​​@@jaidaebanks8771the New York accent does stem from British.Philly Jersey and Boston as well

Ya, just like Plymouth lol. As the British would say, get off it!

Absolutely

Baltimore’s not in the south though

@@testnojohnny Baltimore is were "special" people live.

@@testnojohnny it is the south but it's not the deep south...

😂😂😂😂😂😂

That really is how they say it 😭😂

Oinch

Same way in DC

OINCH

We must have a different idea of what "soothing" means lol

@@TheSoonToBePurgedJackMeHoff55 as opposed to what? The standard American accent which sounds horrid.

@@Garrett1240 there is no standard American accent lol north sound different than the south. South sound different from the west and the west sound different from the mid west. It varies by region.

@@thatbastardtony9445 you’re wrong, it’s called ‘General American English’.

I went to school in Baltimore and live not too far from it and I never noticed it. I only started noticing the accent when I saw it on the internet

which is so accurate geographically and historically

It’s not tho y’all just country🤦🏾‍♂️

@@cfo_sosa23 it’s Urban as hell, how is it country

@@deezusnubes I’m talkin bout y’all who not from Baltimore specifically down south y’all country travel out your state up north to New York New Jersey or Maryland you’ll then find out what I’m talking about

@@deezusnubes Baltimore not country it nothing but buildings houses and few trees we don’t have no hills and mountains just asphalt and busy streets

💀

😂😂😂

lmfao the irony

@@Pillzb3rry don't you mean the urny lmaooo

snoop and her accent murdered me the first time i heard it, it didn’t help that i was waking up and got introduced by “yewtewb” autoplay

"me mum" vibes

Muva is Baltimore… so is bruva (brother) and fava (father)

Wutcha mutha gon duuuu 😂

I thought it was in my house for a second.

I’m from Baltimore but I was born in the county and when my friends from Baltimore city call me dummy it’s the most regular thing to me but I always think about how we’re basically calling each other dumb 😂

@@monet8562 For Philly, it's "dickhead"

​@@monet8562it's worse with "fool"

😅😅😅😅😅😅 yeah I guess you have a point sometimes the truth sounds funny even when said in literal terms it may be funny but honestly I feel like it's super sad its probably best they stay on that side of United States on the west coast they will get laughed out their entire city but I'm sure they can get a job at McDonald's on the spot😂😂😂😂😂😂

Daren waller

lol

haha

Same here😂😂

That dern Dern 😆ppl love making fun of our accents

A British American is probably closer

it sounds nothing like any british accents tho lol

I probably heard about 5-10% of British influence in their accents. there were a few words I heard them pronounce that were unlike any other American accent I've heard being spoken in the continental US. very unique.

Aside from Appalachian dialects

You should look up "High Tide", or "Hoi Toide" accents

I thought that was just her voice for a sec LMAO

Cackled

This makes sense as many of the Northern Baltimore suburbs had large Irish migrations back in the 19th century.

@@grant.5345 yep. Lots of things came with those irish immigrants. They brought the knowledge of whiskey production, which resulted in the creation of kentucky burboun. They also brought their musical influence with them, which was a clear precursor to blues and such. I'm very interested in this mixture of culture between African American freedpeople of the South and lowly Irish immigrants. I've noticed a lot of African Americans are called Sean, for example. Sean is the Irish word for old/eldest, usually given to the oldest son.

​@@loto7197Bruh, just say that "African - Americans" are actually Irishmen without sayin' it. Oops, you already have 🤭

@@Riyadh460 that wouldn't be strictly true. Being influenced by something and being something are different things. Irish influenced a lot of white people over there also but so did the Dutch, Scottish, English, German, french etc

@@loto7197 Blah, blah, blah. So called African Americans have done their due diligence in regards to who their antecedents were. We get it...the whole world has taken an oath to keep the true origins of the American people a secret. African Americans are the Irish, are the French, are the Germans, are the British. You know this. Carry on as you were pal

😂😂😂😂

the damn chirp from the smoke alarm as well I'm dead lol

Straight facts 💯

Baltimore is North of War-Shington

true I noticed black baltimoreans sound like a mix between british/southern and the white one’s sound more “redneck” for lack of a better word.

it's the same in alot of cities tbh. In chicago, black and white people sound different. Black people in the midwest (chicago) come from the south due to the "great migration" so there's alot of southern influence in their accents. But the white people in chicago have alot of polish and irish influences in their accents.

@@dmvbay2535 🤣

Its not cool, they sound dumbaf.

Agreed.

the wire

@@bonkboi420 thing is there are only so many authentic baltimore accents in the wire, some examples being snoop, spider and the deacon

@bonkboi420 herc had such a bad accent that they had to rewrite him so his character was from new york

Everywhere does

@@TheSoonToBePurgedJackMeHoff55 so true

As someone who lives in baltimore, when a city’s biggest saving grace is “having personality” it usually just means the place is a shithole. Baltimore is very much that

Fucc everywhere though… we talking about Baltimore rn

@@TheSoonToBePurgedJackMeHoff55 that’s not what I heard

As someone with a TN drawl I found out some of the settlers in TN were from MD (mostly from NC and VA) but MD and SC had a few sprinkled in, so it makes sense. Maybe the TN drawl is the real blend

I'm from TN. These folks sound like they been lost in the gulf of Mexico to me.

They don’t sound British.

there's too many PlG reds sharing opinions on this channel. 🙄

For the life of me I can't hear any British tones to our accents.

real shit

My atlanta video got some of tht

advice for who? do your own research!

@@allaboutthemurzic naw this whole video had me dying. especially the aaron earned an iron urn where they became self aware.

Facts

You kno the muh - uh fucka want it tew Fuh it is stewpid

Right..I didn’t hear nothing wrong 😆

@@allaboutthemurzic 😂😂

They always judge us

@@allaboutthemurzic 😂😂

It’s because you’ve heard it all your life.What part of Maryland are you from ?

You heard of people in Yorkshire or flipping Cornwall😭 which part of Britain are you talking about? Also, people tend to talk very court and blunt, so the ewwwwwwww wouldn't stretch out like that💀💀💀

@@Laura-sg6ss no one said all places in Britain, it still phonetically came from British people

I was so confused on what you meant by that but then I said dew you out loud in a British accent I get what you mean 😂💀

@Ja'Cora Williams but it's the way we say it, we don't prolong it. We are more choppy when we speak but in the South, they have a drawl that we don't, that makes it sound different especially paired with other words in a sentence.

@OB I didn't say they said that.. hence why I'm literally asking from where 😂😂tf

U ain’t a real Ballmore boy

Everyone has an accent, dummy

everybody has an accent, if you can speak you have an accent

nobody can hear their own accent lol

​@@TM-hx9rsright!!

Baltimore isnt part of the dmv tho dummy thats like calvert co pg county etc

🤣Being that the DMV is so close to Bmore, there's a lot of interaction between the two. When I lived in the DMV my boyfriend lived in East Baltimore because that's where his "job" was. 🤣 I'm from Oakland, CA so E Bmore never scared me.@@TG-st2ze

I moved from NYC, so I feel your pain! I had spent time in Pittsburgh though, which also has a crazy accent, so it wasn't such a big deal. And yes, there are ppl who talk like this all over the DMV.

funny as hell I am from Baileys Crossroads Virginia but mom was born in DC. so I say Karen like Kurn or Derek like Derk

Ong I was stuck on snoop accent whole time dying laughing 😂

😂😂😂😂

Endurmunt as he said

who is that

Because she used to live in Baltimore 😭

What the fuck? lmfao

@@ulysses988 A pro wrestler 💀

@@FIREcrochethairstyles nigga hwat!!! 😂aye delete this befo she find it hahaha

Baltimore, Philly, Outer Banks, and Appalachia have truly wild accents that only get love from linguists. This country is full of cool shit that gets papered over with New York, LA, Texas, and shit else

Snewp

??? No.

Not really, no.

Not at all British lol

I’m British, it doesn’t sound like my accent obviously but there are quite a few similarities in the way you pronounce words

​@@salls523there are some British accents that do sound like the Baltimore accent.

Fr fr. I’m from the valley and the first time I met my homie from the 5th, he was in the half way house working for McDonald’s as a teen, I didn’t understand a single fucking word out his mouth. It took a few minutes for my brain to adjust to understand him. That was the first time I had heard such a thick ass accent. That was so profound that I never was culture shocked again after that when traveling to different places lol.

Word

@@elijahashman9716 oinch?

That's not a southern accent. Nobody says oinch in the south.

@j.e3336 One word doesn't mean a lot of other words aren't pronounced in a southern dialect. I'm not the only one who noticed the blended accents, so there must be something there.

That’s not even close to British

He should sing fr

As a Baltimorian I totally agree. The country can't leave us alone

Wild guess here... what you probably know as the london roadman/multicultural accent has an exaggerated "oooooo" sound in it, like here when they say "too" or when young lads in london say "you" that's the best guess I can make 🤣

@@dipthongthathongthongthong9691that’s the only reason they say it people also ignore most other aspects of the accent and only focus on ou and iron

Exactly, sounds more Irish if anything

It sounds hauty, in certain parts. That's what they mean.

Are u even black?

They dew tew much 🤣

Coming from a Baltimorian that's funny but that's how some of us do, put our own spin on words

All Daz champ👊🏾 but what y’all know about that “VA” in Baltimore?? You got to be over 40 to know 🤔

That's an English accent?

It sounds nothing like a British accent

@@TheSoonToBePurgedJackMeHoff55 can you read? If so finish my entire comment before replying.

Actually that old English accent is what you hear from Americans today, the accent in Britain changed.

People from Britain used to sound like this, our accent changes a lot. Americans think of the queens English but it’s changed again in the last 50 years
